You can use the equalizer to adjust the tonal character of the game sound (input source: GAME*1). This lets you emphasize important frequency ranges in the game or de-emphasize unnecessary frequency ranges.

You can also apply an equalizer to the input audio from HDMI IN (1, 2).

For instance, you can use this to suppress the sound of wind or other environmental noises during an FPS game, or make sounds like footsteps or gunshots easier to hear.

*1: The equalizer is only applied to the game sound that’s sent to the PERSONAL MIX bus.


  1. On the menu screen, click the “GAME” tab to adjust the equalizer.
